[0003] The patent with publication number CN102084189B discloses a humidifier with an underwater discharge device. The humidifier 20 includes: a housing with an air inlet 211 and an air outlet 223, a fan 24 assembly housed in the housing for air intake, a humidifying device 26 of ceramic material located in front of the fan 24 assembly, and a water supply unit for supplying water absorbed by the humidifying device 26, and a discharge unit 10 installed on one surface of the water supply unit to perform ionization by discharging in water.

[0004] In the process of implementing the above application, the inventors found that there are at least the following problems in this technology: in the above humidifier, the rotor is a single rotor, and the increase in humidification capacity requires increasing the evaporation area or increasing the fan speed and increasing the air intake volume; the increase in area will cause the humidifier to become larger, the internal space of the humidifier will decrease, and the cost will increase; increasing the fan speed will cause louder noise and increase the energy consumption of the humidifier. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the humidification effect of a humidifier, the present application provides a wheel assembly of a humidifier.

[0006] The present application provides a humidifier rotor assembly adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A rotor assembly of a humidifier comprises a water storage part, in which a rotatable rotor assembly is arranged. The rotor assembly comprises a plurality of coaxially arranged humidifying parts, and a certain interval is provided between two adjacent humidifying parts.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the wheel assembly is composed of several humidifying parts and there are intervals between the humidifying parts. The specific and uniform intervals limit the trajectory of the wind, ensuring that the outgoing wind can fully pass through the humidifying parts, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the outgoing wind to the greatest extent, improving the effective utilization rate of the wind, thereby increasing the humidification amount and improving the humidification efficiency; at the same time, the intervals increase the effective use area of ​​the wheel assembly as a whole, thereby improving the humidification efficiency of the humidifier.

[0009] Optionally, a fixing column for fixing a plurality of humidifying units is provided through the end surface of the humidifying unit, and the fixing column is hollow.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixed column connects several humidifying parts and combines them into a wheel assembly, which is convenient for stacking and fixing the humidifying parts of the wheel assembly, thereby ensuring the stability of the wheel assembly; at the same time, the fixed column is hollow, which is convenient for carrying water during the rotation of the wheel assembly, thereby further improving the humidification efficiency.

[0011] Optionally, a plurality of outwardly protruding spaced positioning portions are fixed to the end surface of the humidifying portion.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the spacing positioning parts can overlap and fix each humidifying part, which can increase the surface area of ​​the humidifying part and the evaporation area while ensuring the stability of the entire wheel, thereby increasing the humidification amount and improving the humidification efficiency.

[0013] Optionally, the end surface of the humidifying part is further provided with a plurality of water-carrying parts, and the water-carrying parts can carry liquid.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the water carrying part can carry liquid, so during the rotation of the wheel assembly, the water carried by the humidifying part increases, further improving the humidification effect of the humidifier.

[0015] Optionally, the water carrying part includes a plurality of first water carrying units and a plurality of second water carrying units, and the first water carrying units and the second water carrying units are both arranged in a concave shape.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the first water carrying unit and the second water carrying unit carry water. At the same time, since there are enough first water carrying units and second water carrying units, it is as if a layer of water film is evenly attached to the entire surface, increasing the water carrying capacity, thereby improving the humidification efficiency.

[0017] Optionally, a plurality of isolation parts are fixed to the end surface of the humidifying part, and the fixing column is passed through the isolation part.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the isolation part allows a certain distance between the two humidification parts. The function of the distance is mainly to limit the trajectory of the wind and improve the utilization rate of the wind, thereby increasing the humidification amount and improving the humidification efficiency.

[0019] Optionally, one end of the fixing column is arc-shaped, and a screw cap is fixed to the other end, and a hole is opened on the screw cap, and the end of the fixing column and the end surface of the screw cap are both in contact with the inner wall of the water storage part.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixed column makes the entire rotating wheel more stable. At the same time, since its end is an arc-shaped protrusion, it can be limited forward and backward when the rotating wheel rotates, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotating wheel during the rotation process. At the same time, the rotating cover is arc-shaped and plays the same role. A hole is opened on the rotating cover to facilitate water to enter or flow out of the hollow fixed column.

[0021] Optionally, an air inlet is provided on the humidifying part, and the air inlet is coaxially arranged with the humidifying part.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, due to the opening of the air inlet, the air intake mode of the rotor assembly is changed to diffuse from the middle air inlet edge, which greatly increases the effective utilization area of ​​the rotor assembly.

[0023] Optionally, rotatable blades are provided in the air inlet.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, due to the unique structural characteristics of the blades, the wind can be diffused from the middle of the blades to the edges of the blades when the blades rotate. Therefore, the wind can be diffused in the rotor to the edge of the rotor, thereby improving the conversion and utilization efficiency of the wind and improving the humidification effect.

[0025] Optionally, the water-carrying portion is circular, and a diameter of the water-carrying portion is twice the thickness of the humidifying portion.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the diameter of the water-carrying part is twice the thickness of the humidifying part, which can maximize the volume of water that can be carried by the water-carrying part, thereby enhancing the humidification effect.

[0027] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects of a humidifier wheel assembly:

[0028] 1. When the rotor rotates, half of the fixed column is always in the water tank, dividing the center of gravity equally, making it very stable during the rotation process. The rotor has a specific and uniform interval, so that after the wind enters from the middle, it is dispersed from all sides along a specific trajectory, ensuring that the wind completely passes through the humidification part to the greatest extent, while increasing the effective evaporation area and the effective use of wind, and increasing the humidification capacity; at the same time, the water carrying part brings water out of the water tank to form water droplets, which break when the rotor leaves the water tank and rotates, and mix with the outlet air; the water carrying part allows the humidification part to carry more water and can keep the water on the humidification part for a longer time, so that the humidification part is always kept moist, thereby further increasing the humidification capacity and improving the humidification efficiency;

[0029] 2. The end of the fixed column is raised, which can increase the evaporation area and improve the humidification efficiency. During the rotation of the rotor, the outwardly raised part contacts the inner wall of the water tank, which increases the stability. At the same time, the fixed column is hollow inside, which is convenient for carrying water during the rotation. The rotary cover at the end of the fixed column is arc-shaped, which also plays a role in increasing stability. There are holes on the rotary cover to facilitate the water in the water tank to flow into or out of the hollow fixed column;

[0030] 3. The air inlet and outlet mode is changed. The wind enters from the middle of the rotor assembly and is discharged from the edge, so that the wind can fully pass through the humidification structure. Without increasing the number of humidification structures, the evaporation area is greatly increased, the wind reaches the maximum effective utilization rate, the cost is reduced, and the humidification amount is significantly increased; at the same time, the air inlet and outlet mode is coordinated with the rotor assembly, so that a smaller number of humidification parts can achieve the humidification effect achieved by multiple humidification parts in the prior art. Compared with the prior art, this structure has a significant improvement in humidification effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0043] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The wheel assembly 2 includes a plurality of humidifying parts 3, each of which is disc-shaped, and the plurality of humidifying parts 3 are coaxially arranged. At the same time, there is a certain interval between two adjacent humidifying parts 3, thereby increasing the surface area of ​​the wheel assembly 2, so that the wheel assembly 2 can carry more water during rotation, thereby improving the humidification effect of the humidifier; a plurality of fixing holes are provided on the end surface of the humidifying part 3, and the plurality of fixing holes are evenly distributed around the axis of the humidifying part 3. The end surface of the humidifying part 3 is fixed with a plurality of isolating parts 7 by an integral molding method. The isolating parts 7 are annular, and the plurality of isolating parts 7 are coaxially arranged with the plurality of fixing holes. At the same time, the inner side wall diameter of the isolating parts 7 is the same as the inner side wall diameter of the fixing hole. A fixing column 6 is passed through the fixing hole, and the fixing column 6 is connected to the inner side wall of the fixing hole. The wall is threadedly connected, that is, the fixed column 6 is simultaneously penetrated through the humidifying part 3 and the isolating part 7, the fixed column 6 is used to fix a plurality of humidifying parts 3 and make them form a wheel assembly 2, during the installation process, the isolating parts 7 on the end faces of two adjacent humidifying parts 3 abut against each other, so that there is a certain interval between the two adjacent isolating parts 7; the interior of the fixed column 6 is hollow and one end is open, the open end of the fixed column 6 is threadedly connected with a screw cover 17, the end of the screw cover 17 is arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped end of the screw cover 17 has the same function as the arc-shaped end of the fixed column 6, and at the same time, a hole is opened on the screw cover 17, and the hole on the screw cover 17 facilitates the water in the water storage part 1 to flow into or out of the hollow fixed column 6, so that the wheel assembly 2 can carry more water during rotation, thereby enhancing the humidification effect.

[0044] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The end surface of the humidifying part 3 is fixed with a plurality of spacing positioning parts 4, which are evenly distributed on the end surface of the humidifying part 3. At the same time, the spacing positioning parts 4 are convex in shape, and their cross-sections can be circular or polygonal. The spacing positioning parts 4 used in this embodiment are columnar, and the end surface of the spacing positioning parts 4 is flush with the end surface of the isolation ring. The spacing positioning parts 4 are mainly used to increase the surface area of ​​the humidifying part 3, so that the wheel assembly 2 can carry more water during the rotation process, thereby enhancing the humidification effect of the humidifier; the end surface of the humidifying part 3 is provided with a plurality of water carrying parts 5, which are used to carry liquid, and the water carrying parts 5 include a first water carrying unit 18 and a second water carrying unit 19. The water unit 19, the first water-carrying unit 18 and the second water-carrying unit 19 are all set in a concave shape, that is, both of them can carry water, and the shapes of the first water-carrying unit 18 and the second water-carrying unit 19 are not limited, that is, the cross-sections of the first water-carrying unit 18 and the second water-carrying unit 19 can be circular or polygonal. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the first water-carrying unit 18 is circular, and the cross-section of the second water-carrying unit 19 is polygonal; in addition, the first water-carrying unit 18 and the second water-carrying unit 19 can pass through the humidifying unit 3, or they may not pass through the humidifying unit 3. In this embodiment, the concave part of the first water-carrying unit 18 passes through The humidifying part 3, the inner concave of the second water-carrying unit 19 does not penetrate the humidifying part 3, so the second water-carrying unit 19 is provided at both end surfaces of the humidifying part 3, and at the same time, a plurality of second water-carrying units 19 are arranged in an array to fill the end surface of the humidifying part 3. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the second water-carrying unit 19 includes a quadrilateral, a pentagon, a hexagon, etc., and its edges are abutted to form a dense distribution; at the same time, the depth of the inner concave of the second water-carrying unit 19 is approximately 0.15 mm, and the width of the polygon is approximately 1.2 mm. Such a setting allows the water droplets to form tension at the inner concave. At the same time, since there are enough second water-carrying units 19, it is as if the whole A layer of water film is evenly attached to each surface. This structure enables a uniform water film to be formed on the surface of the rotor, thereby increasing the amount of water carried. At the same time, the diameter of the first water carrying unit 18 in the water carrying portion 55 is twice the thickness of the humidifying portion 33. This arrangement allows the size of the first water carrying unit 18 in the water carrying portion 55 to match the thickness of the humidifying portion 33, thereby carrying the water in the water storage portion 11 to the greatest extent. Since water has tension, when the rotor assembly 2 rotates, a certain amount of water can be carried in the water carrying portion 5. During the rotation of the rotor assembly 2, due to the action of centrifugal force, the water in the water carrying portion 5 will be broken and diffused into the air, thereby improving the humidification effect of the humidifying portion 3.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4The end of the fixed column 6 is in an outwardly convex arc shape. When the wheel assembly 2 drives the fixed column 6 to rotate into the water storage portion 1, the end of the fixed column 6 abuts against the inner wall of the water storage portion 1, thereby further enhancing the stability of the wheel assembly 2 in the water storage portion 1; in addition, the number of fixed columns 6 placed inside the water storage portion 1 is the same as the number of fixed columns 6 placed outside the water storage portion 1, which enhances the balance and stability of the wheel assembly 2 and reduces the possibility of swinging of the wheel assembly 2 during rotation.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The humidifying part 3 is provided with an air inlet 8, which is coaxially arranged with the humidifying part 3, and the air inlet 8 penetrates the humidifying part 3 along the axial direction of the humidifying part 3. Due to the opening of the air inlet 8, the wind in the external environment can enter from the middle of the rotor assembly 2, and due to the diffusion of the edge of the rotor assembly 2, the effective utilization area of ​​the rotor assembly 2 is greatly increased, thereby improving the humidification effect; the protective shell 10 is rotatably connected with a wheel blade 9, and the wheel blade 9 is penetrated in the air inlet 8, and the protective shell 10 is fixed with an induced draft motor 15 by bolts, and the induced draft motor 1 The shaft key is connected to the impeller 9. Due to the unique structural characteristics of the impeller 9, the impeller 9 can diffuse the wind from the middle of the impeller 9 to the edge of the impeller 9 when it rotates. Therefore, the wind can diffuse to the edge of the impeller in the impeller, that is, the humidification structure is set to have a central air inlet and 360° air outlet from all sides. Compared with the traditional humidification scheme, the scheme in the present application improves the efficiency of wind conversion and utilization, and improves the humidification effect. The closer to the edge of the humidification structure, the smaller the wind resistance and the smoother the air outlet. Therefore, under the low speed state of the fan, the air intake can be greatly increased, and the humidification effect is far better than that of the existing humidifier.

[0047] The implementation principle of the wheel assembly of a humidifier in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: water is placed in the water storage part 1, the wheel assembly 2 is inserted into the water storage part 1 and rotatably connected to the protective shell 10, and a spacing positioning part 4 and a water carrying part 5 are provided on the humidifying part 3, so as to maximize the surface area of ​​the wheel assembly 2, thereby improving the humidification effect of the humidifier.

[0048] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
